Before Keith Richards's bad habits took over for a time in the mid-'70s, his work ethic was quite high. Stories abound of the long, if somewhat off-schedule, hours he spent working on this classic ... more
| Pros | Unpolished, cocky ditties that are virtually unparalleled in classic rock. |
| Cons | A few more disappointing numbers makes this work pale overall compared to earlier albums. |
| Bottom Line | I might not like this as much as their other 1968-1972 classic string of albums, but this is a major classic and for good reason. |

| Pros | The concept of the album as a complete piece of work. |
| Cons | Not immediate at all. |
| Bottom Line | The Stones at some of their dirtiest, muskiest best. |

| Pros | The album works so well on the whole... |
| Cons | that we can overlook some questionable songs. |
| Bottom Line | It may take a while before you even remotely like this truly difficult album but, man, is it worth the wait. Highly Recommended. |

| Pros | Hail and grunt your throks toward the rhythm section |
| Cons | When is primitive thwakking and strokking on drums and strings a con? |
| Bottom Line | True blues married to the early-to-mid Stones's signature caveman thudding drum sound. All blues is primitive! Hail and grunt and theewack your grunts and rocks toward Watts and Wyman. |
